Starting with the awakened Poison God: I choose the Master Thief.

It's important to know that although the forced health deduction effect of the "Hidden Hand" skill is only one drop, the feeling is so strong that even players in the beginner village can sense it if no other factors are involved. It's like being bitten by a mosquito.

If a thief had this skill, wouldn't he be able to steal from whoever he wanted on the street?!

After all, who would keep staring at their health bar? Without that feeling, that drop of health lost can be regained in the blink of an eye, and no one will even notice.

"However, this thing isn't very useful to others. What does it matter if it goes unnoticed? A thief's 'Hidden Blade' technique might only work once out of 100 attempts, and most of what they steal is just junk. Besides, it stipulates that each person can only use it once every 24 hours."

"But it's enough for me. If I encounter a situation like this again, where I'm threatened, at least I can guarantee that I'll leave a divine poison in that person's body. After all, there aren't always opportunities to save the day."

"As for this so-called reverse theft, well... let's keep it for now; it might come in handy later."

"System, use this skill book."

Chu Ci shouted loudly in front of Mina, and the golden skill book instantly disappeared from his hand.

[Ding! Congratulations on learning the skill "Thief Without Thieves," which has been added to your skill library.]

"Thank you, I really like this gift." Chu Ci smiled slightly at Mina.

"Ah... um, I'm glad you like it." Mina lowered her head shyly and replied in a voice barely above a whisper.

The atmosphere around them seemed to gradually become ambiguous when Xiao Yin's voice suddenly appeared in Chu Ci's mind.

[Master, Sister Yali has already prepared dinner. Is Sister Mina still not awake?]

Ah!

Chu Ci, realizing what was happening, quickly replied.

Don't worry, she's awake. We'll be up shortly.

【Yes! Little Silver is waiting for you here.】

With the sound gone, Chu Ci's attention returned to the girl in front of him.

"Let's go, it's getting late, someone's calling us back."

……

Soon, the four of them sat down at the dining table, and Yali laid out a sumptuous dinner in front of them.

"Hmm? Isn't Dilline coming back?" Chu Ci asked, looking at the three women in front of him with some confusion.

"Well, Dillin and I are usually not home. Sometimes we're gone for days at a time. She said this morning that she had something important to do at the academy. If she's not back by now, she probably won't be back tonight. Let's not wait for her and eat first."

Mina, sitting beside him, spoke softly. She had changed her appearance, and her golden hair, which had been dazzling due to divine power, had turned silver again.

Hearing her say that, Chu Ci didn't say anything more, just nodded and began to enjoy the dinner. During the meal, everyone chatted and laughed.

When the moon reappeared in the sky outside the window, he was already in the room that had been prepared for him.

"Yes, it's the same one as last time."

Chu Ci lay on the comfortable bed, gazing at the rather familiar ceiling.

He hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep when he came here last time, but now he could make up for it.

At the dinner table, he casually asked Mina a few questions about Dillin and the Elias royal family. She kept smiling and seemed unaware of the matter.

"Since Bishop Klend didn't choose to tell her, it seems that even he thinks the time isn't right yet. With him here, I don't need to worry about it."

Just as he was about to get a good night's sleep, a sudden, urgent notification from the system entered his mind.

[WARNING! WARNING! The teleportation point in the Elias region where you are located has been blocked by a special force. Please be aware of your safety.]

Huh? What's this?

Chu Ci jumped out of bed, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

Can't we just let him sleep here peacefully? Why does something always happen every time he lies down?

"Wait, I think I've encountered this situation before. I remember when Dawn City was attacked by the Fallen Church, the teleportation array was also unusable like this. Could it be?"

"But that doesn't make sense. Their initial purpose was to obtain the divine treasure sealed there by the Holy See, but what does Elias have that they would covet?"

Swish!

Chu Ci's figure disappeared from the room.

Just as he was about to leave the palace to go outside and take a look, a figure appeared in front of him and stopped him.

"Bishop Krend? What brings you here?"

On the stone path of Wenyang, Chu Ci looked at the figure in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"It seems you've sensed it too. Just now, several unfamiliar king-level auras suddenly appeared within the territory of Elias, located in the east. You can go and take a look."

Krend spoke calmly, and then disappeared into the night.

Huh? If you sensed it, why didn't you go yourself?!

Chu Ci was speechless and wanted to punch someone, but he had no choice but to go alone.
